Stirring -

Well I was hummin-long with the wind

Just passing through this town again

And I was wonderin- where have I been

Where was I going when I left

It’s good to see you friend

I was stirring in the leaves

I was changing into me

We’ve come a long long way

Just to make it here today

A long time coming – a long time since

It seems these summer nights don’t end

For all this wandering – through thick and thin

For all good things to come to this

Our paths will cross again

I was stirring in the leaves

I was changing into me

We’ve come a long long way

Just to make it through today

 

Flashlight -

No boundaries in my heart and I get lost

All the things that cost a poor man

Could almost rob me blind - especially tonight

I could barely see the full moon through the clouds

Like a man standing in the ocean

With a flashlight – several miles down

I can barely reach you – You gotta help yourself now

Getting drowned out

No boundaries in my heart and I get lost

All the things that cost a poor man

Could almost rob me blind – but not this time

I watched the fireworks in the distance of old fourth of Julys

No boundaries in my heart

And the sparkle never dies – especially tonight

 

Truth -

They say an eye for an eye

But the blind leads the blind

They say fire kills the fire

But we’re burning up inside

And truth always outshines

They speak time after time

And weave their way around a lie

They say color vs. color

And we believe it every time

But truth always outshines

They say eye for an eye

Will only leave the world blind

They say brother vs. brother

And the left hand kills the right

And truth always outshines

We’re all on the same side

The truth always outshines

 

Sweet Tooth Blues -

I’ve been craving something sweet

Something to get me through the week

Midnight and I can’t sleep

Tide me over till I leave – till I leave

My hands shaking like a leaf

Almost nothing left of me

She might just rot my teeth

I’ve been sinking to my knees – to my knees

I’ve been craving something sweet

Something to get me through the week

Midnight and I can’t sleep

Tide me over till I leave – till I leave

 

Transient -

I hear the whistle of the train

Raindrop on my sleeve

I know it’s already gone

And it’s never gonna leave

Somewhere in a dream – I saw you smile and wave

We’ll meet again someday

Somewhere along the way

This train keeps rollin’ on

Forever and a day

I hear the whistle of the train

Sunshine on my feet

I know it’s already gone

And it’s never gonna leave

Somewhere in a dream – I saw you smile and wave

 

Extra Mile -

Sometimes I wanna chase you

But you know I’ll let you run

I wanna break you out

From these walls that you built up

Bring you back into the sun

Sometimes I wanna save you

But I can’t take away your gun

Nobody else can walk your path

You gotta be the one

When you want it bad enough

I wanna make you cry – I wanna make you smile

Sometimes we fall behind – just to go the extra mile

Your destiny awaits you

All roads lead back to one

Free will is in your hands

And the steps you make your own

Your heart will guide you home

I wanna see you try – I wanna see you shine

Sometimes we fall behind – just to go the extra mile

 

Gypsy Prayer -

May you get what you’re lookin' for

And only you can really know for sure

We swam through lifetimes just to get this far

May it be all that we dreamed and more

We wore our welcome out so long ago

And here we are sleeping on the floor

And you know me – what do I know

Well I know we still got soul

May you get what you’re lookin' for

And only you can really know for sure

We swam through lifetimes just to get this far

May it be all that we dreamed and more

 

Morning Dove -

Broken sidewalks and training wheels

Broken hearts – now you know – how it feels

Mama’s back and daddy’s blue steel

There’s a long way in your eyes

Interstates and lullabies

Broken signals and rabbit ears

Motel rooms and broken mirrors

A thousand channels for all your fears

There’s a highway through the pines

Morning dove on the power line

Broken sidewalks and little feet

Round the block and back to me

Taught to walk and love and breathe

There’s a long way in your eyes

Interstates and lullabies

 

Skeleton Key Blues -

I heard em say there’s only one way out of this town

I heard em say there’s only one way out of this town

But I know the lost will someday be found

I heard em say you need something to wake up for

I heard em say you need something to wake up for

And so much hangs on the hinges of my door

I heard em say there’s only one way out of this town

I heard em say there’s only one way out of this town

But I know the lost will someday be found

 

Gold Anchor Blues -

If all your possessions – get a hold of you

It shows your reflection – in everything you do

Gold anchor blues

If all your directions – lead back to you

It shows your reflection – and what you own – owns you

Gold anchor blues

 

Free Spirit -

Standing in the doorway

Walking in your shoes

Standing on the highway

Just passing through

And you will not be caged

Your heart is on the loose

And if you lose your way

Your heart will guide you through

Keep shining through
Feel your way through

Standing in the doorway

Walking right with you

Standing on the highway

Just passing through
